Cement Industry Outlook
The cement industry, a vital component of the construction sector, continues to experience steady growth. Increasing urbanisation, infrastructure development, and housing projects drive the demand for cement, making it an attractive opportunity for us. India Ratings & Research forecasts that cement demand will grow by up to 9% in the 2024 financial year that started in April 2023, due to continued government infrastructure spending. Despite mounting inflation and a large number of capital expenditure projects in progress, it expects cement company profits to recover due to slowing increases in energy costs, according to the
Press Trust of India. The current prediction for the 2024 financial year follows a growth estimate of 9% in the 2023 financial year. We intend to leverage our expertise and resources to invest strategically in this industry, capturing market share and capitalising on the growing demand.
